Toyota suspends US driverless car tests after fatal Uber accident

Toyota has suspended US tests of driverless cars on public roads following a fatal accident in Arizona involving one of Uber Technologies' self-driving vehicles. A survey last year by Pew Research Center found that more than half of Americans would not want to ride in a driverless car if given the option and expressed some level of worry about such vehicles. Police are investigating the details of the incident, in which a 49-year-old woman was killed by an Uber car operating in autonomous mode. Uber said after the accident that it would temporarily halt driverless car tests. He said the firm is continuing its tests of driverless cars in other countries.
